“Sometimes, though, you make a pact with yourself. I'll pretend there's nothing wrong if you pretend there's nothing wrong. It's called denial, and it's one of the strongest pacts in the world. Just ask all those people who were still drinking champagne while the Titanic went down.”
― Neal Shusterman, Dread Locks

“We are wolves of the guard,
soldiers of the light.

Hunted and haunted,bye the
beasts of night.

Friend to all and foe to none,
Love and loyalty bind us as one.

Time and tide shall heal all
wounds

Memories and madness shall
not consume.

To death and despair we shall
never surrender,

The pact never to be forsaken,
or torn asunder.”
― Melissa de la Cruz, Wolf Pact

Will you swear to take a ski trip this year? It burns so many calories.”

beasts of night.

not consume.

To death and despair we shall
never surrender,

The pact never to be forsaken,
or torn asunder.”

“Building on a bond is bankable. Building on bitterness is bankrupt.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

“Hear, therefore, accursed Satan, who art powerless over a servant of God, when, encouraged by his true Lord, he turneth unto another service; in vain dost thou boast of this deed; I command thee to restore it in the name of the Lord, as a Proof before the whole world that when God receiveth a sinner, thou hast no longer any Yule over his soul. I abjure thee, by Him who expelled thee from thy stronghold, bereft thee of the arms which thou didst trust in and distributed thy spoils. Return therefore this deed, whereby this creature of God foolishly bound himself to thy service; return it, I say, in His name by Whom thou art overcome; when thy Power has come to nothing, presume not longer to retain this useless document. By penitence already hath this creature of God restored himself to his true Lord, spurning thy yoke, hoping in the Divine mercy for defence against thine assaults, and assisted by the Most Holy and Glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, through whose intercession he shall obtain from Jesus Christ, His Son, that which he himself is not worthy to expect. Through the same Christ our Lord.”
― Waite, Arthur Edward, The Book of Ceremonial Magic

― Ryan Andrews, This Was Our Pact

“We were the last two people in the world who believed he would come back. […] We knew that Armin was alive. That knowledge connected us much more than a shared desk did, it was important to stay together until the end, until your brother showed up again. If we fought, if we split up, that fragile conviction would come undone too. As if his whole life had been woven into the fabric of our friendship. He was to be found nowhere else but there.]”
― Lana Bastašić, Catch the Rabbit

“The longer something remains a priority, he said, the more it becomes second nature, hardwired in our minds and actions.”
― Michelle Richmond, The Marriage Pact
